Detailed Provisions
Part 2: Operation of the redress scheme
Redress Scotland
Section 4: Status
9.Section 4(1) provides that Redress Scotland is not a servant or agent of the Crown. The Crown, which for this purpose broadly means the executive branch of government, enjoys certain privileges and immunities in law. Redress Scotland is not to be regarded as a government body and therefore none of the particular legal rules that apply to government bodies apply to it.
10.Subsection (2) states that Redress Scotland’s members and staff are not to be regarded as civil servants. This means that none of the statutes that make provision about the civil service (see, for example, Part 1 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010) apply to the people who comprise, and work for, Redress Scotland.
